good brother

"Yawn—ahhhhhhhh..."

Luffy rubbed his belly and climbed onto the deck with sleepy eyes and confusion.

"Ok?"

Luffy twitched his nose, and instinctively followed the scent to the restaurant.

"This taste..."

Luffy slammed the door open.

“Angel's BBQ!”

Even if I haven't smelled this scent for ten years, this memory will never fade away.

"The nose works well, good morning ~ Luffy."

Angel came to Luffy with the still steaming barbecue.

"You are really lazy, what time is it?"

Except for the hangover Chopper, everyone else had already had breakfast here.

"Hee hee, I'm starting~"

Luffy didn't refute, just snatched the barbecue from Angor's hand and stuffed it into his mouth with a smile.

"Hmm--! Sure enough, Angel's barbecue saigao!"

Luffy held his swollen face, enjoying it.

"Indeed, this barbecue has a unique taste."

Sanji savored the taste in his mouth carefully.

Unlike the chefs in restaurants, basically no seasoning is added, only the ingredients that can be found everywhere are used to remove the fishy smell of the meat, and the sauce is not like those that usually have a strong aroma, but a light taste. It lingers on the tip of the tongue for a long time, and at the same time, the most original taste of the ingredients is also preserved.

"It's a completely different method from the usual cooking methods. Although it may feel bland at first, you will enjoy the taste very much after you get used to it."

"Because we lived on the mountain before, and we didn't have any materials, so I tried my best to make the barbecue well."

Angel pulled Luffy to sit down and handed Luffy a sandwich.

"Haha thank you~"

"However, I didn't expect that Luffy's brother can even cook, and he's also a rear admiral!"

Usopp couldn't help sighing while eating the barbecue made by Angor.

"Haha, is it~"

Luffy touched his head in embarrassment, and was not surprised to be complained about.

"I'm not praising you, hey!"

"Hey, Angel."

Nami suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Why did you join the navy?"

After just getting along for such a short time, Angel's love for Luffy was undoubtedly revealed.

Then, Angel, who loves Luffy so much, why did he join Luffy's opposing camp?

Could it be some unspeakable secret?

"why?"

Angel was taken aback for a moment, then smiled brightly again.

"Of course it's to protect my brother~"

"Angel, I don't need your protection anymore! Let's be pirates together!"

"To shut up."

Luffy: [Drawing Circles.jpg]

These two words made Luffy lie down and eat quietly, making Angel's image in everyone's hearts even more unfathomable.

"Being a navy, to protect Luffy?"

Usopp thought for a long time but still couldn't find any necessary connection between these two sentences.

"correct."

Angel lowered a piece of meat to comfort Luffy.

"If you become a pirate, although you can stay by Luffy's side for a long time, I can only protect you by force. This kind of help is too hindering your growth."

"The navy is different. Intelligence, power, money, these are your shortcomings, which is where I can provide support."

"But wouldn't it be considered a traitor to offer that?"

Zoro, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"I am also measured. If it is not necessary, I will not give out those confidential information."

"However, if the information is related to my brother's life, I don't mind being a bounty criminal."

Even if there are thousands of insults and insults, there is no regret or regret for the brothers.

"Ahhh, what a brotherhood this is! Why are you so lucky, Luffy!"

Usopp had exaggeratedly started to slap the table and burst into tears, but Luffy had an unhappy expression on his face at this time.

"I don't want Angel to sacrifice!"

"It's just a hypothetical, as long as you are strong enough, you don't need me to work hard."

Angel nodded Luffy's head.

"You are all too weak right now, a casual commander in the navy is enough for you to suffer."

"Master..."

Everyone in the Straw Hats couldn't help but think of the mouse commander they met in Aaron Park.

"What, isn't the Colonel very weak? We've already defeated several of them, right, Zoro."

"Where do you think the East China Sea is?"

Angor rested his chin and scanned the crowd.

"This is a great route. Don't compare the combat power of the East China Sea with this place. Be careful that there will be no dead bodies."

"Yes, Vivi."

Angel looked at the only person here who had seen the world.

"Correct."

Weiwei nodded slightly.

"If you are a senior commander in Four Seas, you should only have the rank of a lieutenant commander to go to the headquarters. The East China Sea is the weakest sea, and the senior commander there may only have the strength of a major commander in the headquarters."

"And there are tens of thousands of majors in this department."

Angel looked at the Straw Hats seriously.

"With your current strength, if you meet a major general, prepare to run away."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Sanji frowned, smoking a cigarette.

"Have."

Angel's words are convincing.

"Since you came here from Upside Down Mountain, you must have passed Rogue Town, have you met Smoker?"

"Ah! That smoking man! We met, we met! That guy is really hard to deal with!"

Luffy slapped the table and yelled.

"Difficult to deal with? You can't beat it at all, right?"

"that……"

Luffy fell silent again.

Angel crossed his fingers and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Then let me tell you now that Smoker's situation is special. He was sent to the East China Sea as a general because of pure character problems. In terms of strength, he can barely give it to a major general at the headquarters."

After all, he doesn't even know how to be domineering, and the fruit development is not very good.

"Just a major general?!"

Usopp was about to pee in terror.

"Then what kind of monsters are those lieutenant generals and generals!"

"Sure enough, the great route is terrifying!"

"What about the Qiwuhai!"

Nami asked eagerly.

It is rare to have a source of information, and it would be a loss if you don't ask carefully.

"Qiwuhai? Hey, you are not interested in them, are you?"

Angel could only play dumb at this time because he didn't get the information about the war in Alabasta.

"Our country is being raped, and the culprit is Crocodile."

Weiwei's face was heavy.

"Then we'll help Weiwei knock that Crocodile away!"

Luffy raised his fist and gestured.

"I see, no wonder you're on Luffy's boat."

Angor sighed.

"Qiwuhai, at least he has about the same strength as me."

"Major general?"

Nami touched the bar and began to calculate.

"No, it's the lieutenant general."

"Eh?"

Angor smiled slightly.

"I'm the commander-in-chief of the Mobile Force of the Navy Headquarters. In any case, my strength is about the same as that of an ordinary lieutenant general. The only difference is my seniority."

"Then aren't we going to fight a vice admiral!"

Usopp was about to faint.

"Luffy! I seem to be suffering from a disease that prevents me from seeing Qibukai—!"

"It's as powerful as Angel... Then after I defeat him, can I protect Angel!"

Luffy got even more excited.

"It's too early to protect me."

Angel crossed his legs.

"However, at least it can prove that you are no longer that brat who needs my protection."

"Really~"

Luffy laughed and jumped up.

"Yoxi! Little ones! Let's go together, Crocodile!"

"The strength of the lieutenant general? It's interesting."

Sauron showed an expression of interest.

"Well, I will protect Nami-san and Vivi-san anyway."

Sanji also stood up.

"These people are really..."

Nami was already covering her mouth and crying.

"Is it really okay..."

Weiwei was also a little depressed, but looking at the noisy Luffy, she couldn't express a nervous expression.

"You guys! Did you listen to Angel? That's the strength of a lieutenant general!"

Usopp stepped on the table with one foot and yelled at Luffy and the others.

"Is the lieutenant general very good?"

"I don't know."*2

"You three... Enough is enough!"
